Getting Kelford 272's,
planning on getting FIC 1000-1200 injectors, (maybe arp headstuds if its worth it) and possibly Supertech dual spring valve springs @ 80lbs. However, I heard kigglys beehives (97lbs) are the best for high revving action. Even thought I don't plan on making high HP, they are still around the same price (since I would have to get seals, and seats for the dual springs) and was considering them, but possible concerns of seat wear has lead me to the lower lbs option.

I have stock turbo right now, but probably would get nothing bigger than a bbk B for a while if ever. Plan on staying 91. I know getting dual springs or beehives are overkill, but isn't it better to be safe than sorry? Also, is it necessary to upgrade valve seats, headstuds, and head gasket?

Let me know what you guys think,
Thanks.

 

The 80lb supertech duals are barely stiffer than the supertech single at 76lb.
Dam, the supertech website is down right now.

IIRC the next stiffer supertech dual spring has 110lb seat pressure, but they start to float before the Kiggly beehive springs.

Since Kelford 272's are fairly aggressive, I'd recommend Kiggly springs because they give you reasonable seat pressure with great valve control. You can use stock valves and seats, no worries. I'd upgrade to ARP headstuds simply because you'll be pushing a good ammount of power with that turbo and cam combo.

 

studs are a must and beehives good combo for 91 will also help with spool from what i heard but im not sure on that

 

Supertech duals have a 90lb too i believe. I just don't know how much lbs is too much.. i have heard that 100lbs and up can cause wear on the seats, and the beehives are basically 100.

 

Actually the dual supetechs are 96lb's when you do them you should to do the spring and retainers..Kigglys are a overkill for you setup not needed.

 

but the price is around the same, so y not just go for kiggls?

 

I paid $300 for my high tension dual supertechs with spring retainers,seats and valve seals..

 

The beehives will be fine for you ohh and ARP headstuds
